If it was the first day of April then you’d be forgiven for thinking this is a fake picture.But snow really did come down in Chicago this morning and the 0.6in fall recorded at O’Hare International Airport broke a 101-year-record for the day of 0.4in.
More snow fell in other parts of Illinois and northern areas were covered by about one to two inches - with around 2.3in recorded in Hebron, McHenry County.
